Explosives have gone missing from a marine base in California.
Military officials had launched a search last week after some 10 pounds of C-4 vanished from the base during a training exercise, according to a report. https://t.co/2sKuJ3ZLFk

I’m serious.

In a chivalrous society, when a man harassed a woman and her elderly mother and posts the video on line to cancel her, good, decent men would knock a few of his fucking teeth out.
But alas, we have become so peaceful that these shit-weasels feel free to throw their weight around and harass women.
What we need is just a little bit more chivalric ass whooping to set things right again.
What are you willing to pay for a high-quality, sustainably-sourced, made in America by unionized workers pillow?
It’s not cheap to manufacture. Our competitors pay $2-$3 wholesale – we are looking at 10x that, minimum. And that’s before all other expenses.

Wow, that’s an expensive pillow to manufacture.
Usually you are looking at a cost to price ratio of 10:1 or more. This will be a $200 pillow for sure.
We won’t have to answer this question because:
1. We don’t have investors we have to deal with & compromise company mission for
2. We will be holding sizable portion of pillow co treasury in #Bitcoin https://t.co/fkvgdX6nLX— LeGate (@williamlegate) February 9, 2021
Seems smart to hold inventory in a currency that varies wildly in exchange rate. Why not Venezuelan Bolivar or Zimbabwean Dollars?
Current team:
– Me & David
– CFO (Harvard Business School alum, expert in bringing companies from idea to 9-11 figure valuations)
– Director of Comms
– 2x: executive assistants (1 for me, 1 for David)
– Wev dev / design team
– Manufacturing operations & product design team— LeGate (@williamlegate) February 9, 2021
Super top down. All the important stuff is subcontracted.
We already have a fulfillment provider who can scale to over 1 million pillow deliveries / month. That is not the bottleneck.
Bottleneck is manufacturing capacity. We will sell-out our first batch & likely many batches following very quickly, possibly within minutes. https://t.co/7HVqj7NczG

For a company thar is supposed to be selling a physical good, that is a huge bottleneck.
Great idea re: premium monogram service. Will discuss with manufacturing partner. Would be hand-done by a unionized American factory worker, but +$40 for this seems viable for worker comp + charity donation.
Anyone else interested? https://t.co/gHeqjXju67
— LeGate (@williamlegate) February 9, 2021
$40 for monogramming on top of a $300 pillow. Yikes.
We are exploring ways to offer employee savings accounts where we match every $1 they invest into Bitcoin to hold for their retirement.
I think it's an exciting possibility. CFO will look into it this week.

They have an insane employee compensation package thought of but they don’t have a manufacturer that can meet demand.
In the process of getting social media handles transferred to us & verified. Hoping to have them by WaPo announcement @ 6pm ET.
If anyone at Insta/Twitter can help us expedite, please DM me! https://t.co/XCZvHIv7W3

Also, I think we will be the first pillow company that has its own TikTok account.
— LeGate (@williamlegate) February 9, 2021
TThat’s far more important that having a reliable manufacturer, viable design, or raw material supplier. They got their social media nailed down though.
We also have a jingle being produced by some of the best composers and songwriters in the entire industry. Can’t wait to share with you all!

This is a thing?

That is an obscenely low offer to a top tier designer. Like, holy shit, I know industrial engineers who that equates to about 45 minutes in billing. Thats not even a raw sketch. Slap a zero on that for a draft design for a moderate size company logo.
Logo started & completed this morning.
Manifesto finished.
Manufacturing specs under development.
Website underway…

That’s what $200 gets you. A stock doodle. What the hell does that have to do with pillows or sleep.
I just did a Google image search for “science logo” and got a dozen similar logos. This is generic as fuck.
Gotta save money for the Executive Assistant salaries.
Also, they have a manifesto?
Website is almost complete.
Y'all better buy a million pillows so I don't have to keep working 100 hour weeks 😅
— LeGate (@williamlegate) February 9, 2021
Oh they are so fucked.
This is being run like an hyped dot com start up not a boring manufacturing company making a household good that most consumers select based on price.
For the cost of one of these pillows I can buy 10 at Costco and would prefer to have 10 from Costco. Is having only one pillow a law I’m not aware of because I sleep like a baby on a mountain of cheap pillows collected over the years.
I guarantee that they will sell out of their first batch order, almost exclusively to rich Leftists who want a virtue signaling gris-gris.
They will declare that a victory even though it folds after that because they are ridiculously top heavy and are selling $300 pillows.
I also bet that they will fuck over their supplier and leave them with unsold inventory that they ordered but didn’t pay for before they folded.
We shall see.
BREAKING: At a press conference Monday, Tampa Mayor Jane Castor said that maskless fans at the Super Bowl will be “identified” by law enforcement and that police will “handle” the situation pic.twitter.com/S20Xv97jYJ

I expect the first visits cops will have to do is “handle” the Mayor herself.
Oh wait! She is Democrat Royalty, cannot be touched. Only the little people will be punished.
Laws for thee but not for me.
Hat Tip to everybody who sent me the tip.
This is real:
This video went viral. The woman went to the hospital where they were unable to help her.
Gorilla Glue released a statement:
We are very sorry to hear about the unfortunate incident that Miss Brown experienced using our Spray Adhesive on her hair. We are glad to see in her recent video that Miss Brown has received medical treatment from her local medical facility and wish her the best. pic.twitter.com/SoCvwxdrGc
— Gorilla Glue (@GorillaGlue) February 8, 2021
A lawyer has weighed in on this:
Gorilla Glue, hair is NOT skin.
Your product failed to adequately warn, knowing hair glue in fact exists and many Black women use hair glue as hair adhesive & for this, your company is liable.
You should have given her a sponsorship deal.
Instead you will be held accountable https://t.co/DvLzfFVkJI
— 𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐨𝐩𝐞 (@exavierpope) February 8, 2021
See, not is Gorilla Glue wrong but it’s also racist for not knowing thar black women use hair glue and specifically warning them.
That fact that Gorilla Glue is purchased in hardware stores and is not in any way indicated that it’s a hair product, and has warnings not to get it on skin, not withstanding.
This is a shakedown not a lawsuit.
I fear, however, in this day and age, she might win or at least get a huge settlement because of the racism angle.
Please God, bring on SMOD.
(PS, do not bring up the McDonald’s coffee spill case in the comments, virtually everything the pop culture knows about that case is wrong. McDonald’s admitted in court that they knew selling coffee at 190 degF was a hazard and after 700 previous settlements over burns, they still had no intention of selling coffee at the industry standard of 160 degF.)
